I AM JOBBED!

You heard right. I have a job. Not just any job. A TEACHING job at my top choice school, CP. I will have my own classroom! Am I that jaded that I'm still waiting for the catch? Or the person to pop out from behind the curtains to say, "haHA! Just kidding!!"? How can I have gotten a job on the first school interview that I went on? ME who had so many issues over the past 5 months?

I wore a new neutral outfit, brought my portfolio with letters of recommendation, photos, resume, etc. I also brought a list of questions which included: "What do you think is the top schoolwide priority for this coming school year will be?" "Which Math program does CP use?" "How does CP build community amongst its students, faculty, staff, and parents?" I laid thick the professionalism. ;)

Well, I'm not going to (let myself) question a blessing. Things just happen. All I know is that a school wanted me! I will be teaching to a classroom full of first or second graders. I'm rooting for the latter, but if I can't get that, I'll be fine and make it work. It's completely out of my hands. ... but well, you know, I'll email the principal in any case. Because, yeah. Maybe I can help direct where that hand moves.

I wish my other teacher friends would hear back from their places soon... If you happen to be an administrator of an elementary school, hire my friends! They are excellent teachers and fantabulous people!

Well, the big questions have been answered and now I await for the final decision for the next year. Will it be 6 or 7 year olds?
